School Location
The undergraduate major enables students to explore a wide range of world literatures in translation, as well as in their original languages, emphazing the development of analytical, critical and writing skills. A group of core courses provides an awareness of traditional and nontraditional literary histories and a foundation in the skills necessary for the interpretation of literary texts. Higher level courses allow students to focus more closely on interdisciplinary areas and topics of special interest, choosing from a wide array of courses in different departments, as well as courses offered in Comparative Literature. The foreign language requirement guarantees that students will pursue the study of a foreign language to a level where they can read significant literary texts written in that language. Our majors are actively encouraged to pursue study abroad ranging from summer to junior year abroad programs and their coursework receives credit towards the major. The ultimate goal of the program is to foster skills in close reading and methodological self-reflection. Outstanding students have the option of entering the Honors Program which involves intensive work in a chosen area of study, including enrollment in a supervised reading or a graduate seminar and the completion of an honors thesis. Outstanding papers by undergraduates are featured in annual undergraduate colloquia attended by undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty.
